Chocolate Marshmallows on a Stick (Printable)

Fluffy marshmallows dipped in rich chocolate and decorated with colorful toppings, served on a stick for a fun and easy treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Marshmallows

01 - 12 large marshmallows

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Insert a lollipop stick into each marshmallow, pushing approximately halfway through to ensure stability.

03 - In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate using the double boiler method over simmering water or in short microwave bursts, stirring until completely smooth.
04 - Dip each marshmallow into the melted chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
05 - Immediately sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate-coated marshmallows before the coating sets.
06 - Place the finished marshmallows upright on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes until the chocolate coating has completely hardened.
08 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These treats require zero baking skills but still make you look like youve spent hours in the kitchen.
  • The contrast between the fluffy marshmallow and snappy chocolate shell creates that perfect textural balance that makes you close your eyes when you take a bite.
02 -
  • If your marshmallows start sliding down the sticks while dipping, pop them in the freezer for 5 minutes first to firm them up.
  • Tapping the stick gently after dipping removes excess chocolate and prevents puddles forming at the base of your marshmallows.
03 -
  • For an adult version, add a drop of peppermint extract to the chocolate and pair with after-dinner coffee.
  • Keep a fork or skewer handy to help guide marshmallows out of the chocolate without creating fingerprints in your perfect coating.
